Meme

From [livejournal.com profile] hermioneorourke, I was given the letter P.

Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. Afterward, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.

1. Peanut butter. Mmmmm. And candy with peanut flavours, soo good.
2. My Papa, who passes away last year, but we were really close, and I still miss him.
3. Postcards! I love getting mail. :)
4. Purple! It's my favourite colour (but oddly enough, I'm actually allergic to purple foods).
5. Pets! I love my cat, who has been really long suffering for my need to snuggle lately.
6. Pineapple. On a stick! Seriously, that was my favourite food in China, I miss it still.
7. Podfic. It gets me through the day.
8. [livejournal.com profile] potterpuffs (I totally just saw her Deathly Hollows update yesterday, it made me happy :D)
9. Paul McGillion! My TV boyfriend!

OMG the SNOW!

Ok, I'm not sure how many of you heard about that *huge-ass* storm that swept through the North Eastern US and South Central Canada, but Ottawa, where I live, was right in the middle of it, and we're still digging out. Last week, we got about 80cm of snow (that's 31.5" for the Americans on my flist), which is crazy. Worse yet, we've already had a huge amount of snow this winter, and it's not going away. So far this winter, we've had more than 4m (over 13 feet) of snow. We're something like a foot away from breaking the record for most snow.

pictures, for those interested )

These pics were from the weekend, we got more today, and none of it seems to have melted. It's really scary driving around corners, because you just have to go slow, and hope that no one's coming; there's no way you can see around the snow banks.


Also, you know how sometimes Canadians and Americans have different words for the same thing? This is the reason why Canadians have March Breaks, and not Spring Breaks, because chances are, it's not spring when we have our week long breaks from school in March.
